A task team called Operation Vala Umgodi established last year to deal with illegal mining, has identified twelve non-operational mines in the Mopani and Vhembe Districts.

SABC News Reporter Koketšo Motau is following the operation in Tzaneen, at the old Modipa gold mine.
Let’s cross to him live.

Well done SAPS 👏 Zama zamas play stupid games and should win stupid prizes.
When you hear task team be aware it’s a task team of getting paid for doing nothing 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe there are a million zamas underground in SA currently
This evil, corrupt anc goverment must be stopped.
So no one is going to comment about my captain's shades 😎😎
Your South Afrcan President doesn't support you.
SA is busy, really tiring 😑
Great interview with Siddy Mathebula 👌👌👌
They must tell the SAHRC that the mines were closed before they took the government to court again, and they failed to take the government to court with the deaths of South African children
They opened a shaft that was closed, then next thing we will be told they are trapped
Koketso o pilanyana shem.
Illegal miners don't learn. Stilfontein should be an example
